My Hair!!!

Hi,

Its been sometime now that i blogged now, not that i do not want to but, life is happening too fast.

Sogie nominated me for the versatile blogger award (will get back to it). This post is about my HAIR!!! I attach too much importance to this hair...why??? Cos it's MINE, yes.....all mine.

So after my Teacher/Boss/Instructor yabbed my hair, that my hair is always in corn-rows and "unkept", i decided to surprise her and show her how versatile my hair can be explore with my hair a bit.

For 2weeks....i played with the hair style-wise. Firstly, i shampooed, conditioned and moisturized, after which i twisted the hair. Left it over night. The next morning, i unraveled and styled. The twistout, i was happy with.

The scond look was an afro look (this is my go-to-style). I deep conditioned, moisturized and used thread to stretch my hair, i made isi owu, the yorubas call it kiko. I left it for 2days, then loosed, combed my hair out and styled.

The highlight of my day was when my Boss saw me and was like "finally, Oma you decided to get a weave, nice." Boy, did i laugh??? I sure had a good laugh....had to tell her twas my hair and you needed to see this lady arguing with me like say na her hair oooo. I was feeling fly.
My friend who then in school criticized my decision to go natural, pinged me to tell me she is considering going Natural because of my hair. Did i hear someone say God be praised! Halleluya!

When you begin to get comments like this, it means you are doing a tqeeny weeny bit of something right, yes? It's been over a year post-relaxer, 9mnoths post BC and the journey has been......stressful yet exciting. Yes, stressful, i wee nor lie...it's with days like this, that all the stress gets washed away just like a woman who gors into labour and after the birth of the new life, considers not the pain.







Lots of Love,
Oma!
